Obviously, the 2013 version of Gallardo is awful ugly. He may never be a number 1, or number 2, guy in the rotation. He should though be a solid number 3 guy. I hope he is more dedicated, focused, and hard working than Ben Sheets was. Ben was, and still is, a great guy who had an abudance of God given talent, but wasn't known for his long work outs or offseason conditioning program. Don'y know the story on Gallardo, only that he has certainly regressed were his slot in the starting rotation is no longer an automatic lock. Hope he is able to turn things around in 2014. Brewers need him.

Gallardo definitely has regressed as a pitcher. It's up to the Brewers "brain trust" to decide if the guy is already a washed up stiff or if some personal problems are affecting his performance. Something is wrong with the guy. What?

You have to wonder if Gallardo is just getting that bad or if the WBC had something to do with it. He has only gone 7 innings or more 3 times this year and his ERA is now a horrible 4.73. After this outing his trade value is just about nothing, so they might as well hold on to him and hope he can get close to his 2011 performance next year.

It's pretty safe to say that Gallardo will be remaining a Brewer until at least the offseason, if not forever. No team is going to want a pitcher worthy of a 4th or 5th starter which is what he is pitching like.

Only 5 comments. Fans are sick of the Brewers. get rid of Melvin. Gallardo is at best a # 3 pitcher. The guy can't pitch past the 6th inning ever. What a disaster the Organization has become. Bunch of minor league players at best. A few major league players on the club. Is that what fans should expect from one of the worst GM's in all of baseball.

I don't know if it was a coincidence but Weeks played much better when they brought Gennett up. Perhaps he needs incentive, they say he is a tireless worker but I am nt at practice to say differently, I just see the on field results or lack thereof.
